For the chicken filling
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 leeks trimmed and sliced
- 1 cup shredded chicken
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup white wine
- 1.5 cups chicken stock
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
For the dumpling biscuits
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp butter cut into small cubes
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 0.25 cup milk
- salt
For the filling
Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the leeks with a pinch of salt and fry for about 6-8 minutes, until softened but not colored.
Add the chicken, mustard, and white wine. Cook until the alcohol has burned off.
Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 5 minutes until it has thickened slightly, then stir in the sour cream and season to taste.
For the dumpling biscuits
Place the flour, baking powder, and a good pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Add the butter and use your fingertips to rub it in, until the mix resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add three quarters of the cheese and rub that in roughly.
Add the milk and bring together into a soft dough. Roll on on a floured surface and cut into triangles.
To assemble and bake
Place the filling in a deep, ovenproof dish. Float the dumpling biscuits on top and scatter with the reserved cheese.
Bake for about 15 minutes until the dumpling biscuits have risen and are golden on top, and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
